Desert Journey ~Let's Meet West~

Prologue:
[Translated by Kukuru]

Location: ???


Christine is described as the "Mysterious Narrator" during the opening scene.

Christine expression desert neutral.png

Good day, it's a pleasure to meet you.
I welcome you-

Christine expression desert neutral.png

My dear beloved audience.
Or possibly, a famous actor.

Christine expression desert smile.png

I am a storyteller of a poor exile......
I am the host who will be giving you commands.

Christine expression desert neutral.png

I would like to share with you, a tale spun by "us."

Christine:( face)
Present day Tokyo. A "place like no other."

Christine:( face)
A world where sand flutters in the air, where dreams and reality intertwine-
A spectacular drama full of ups and downs will unfold.

Christine expression desert neutral.png

A face shows that "I cannot comprehend what is being said."
Please understand, and be at ease.

Christine expression desert smile.png

We shall begin. An adventure that lasts a thousand nights.

Christine expression desert smile.png

And now, I will begin to narrate-
an empty tale spun in a distant world.


Prologue


Location: Roppongi


Summer. An activity that goes around each year.


The season where the sun shines brilliantly, a blessing that rains down freely.

The season that invites crowds of people to the holiday resorts, with bright sunlight bringing people to the clear waterside and forests.

So, this season is always...... No. Summer this year is more or less-


Kengo expression surprised.png

Hot.

Moritaka expression shocked.png

Hooot.

Ryouta expression shocked.png

Hah...... Ho....t

All 3:(shocked face)
So hooooooooot!!


3 options
Sheesh, it's hotter than usual! Of course it's hot. It's summer. Is the world gonna end?
Kengo expression shocked.png

O-Oh, I guess so...... I'm just getting distressed right now.

Kengo expression anger.png

I need to cool down the fire in my heart, yeah?
I should do so!

Moritaka expression surprised.png

As expected of you, [Player]-dono......!
You train the mind and body very differently.

Moritaka expression sad.png

As for me, it is the concentration of the mind.
The heat being trapped in my fur is very stressful.

Ryouta expression shocked.png

Eeeeeeh?! We're gonna be in trouble if it's gonna end!

Ryouta expression joy.png

On summer vacation, we could go camping,
go out to sea, watch the fireworks-

Ryouta expression shocked.png

Uuuuu, they're all outdoors.......
Just thinking about it makes things a lot hotter.


Shirou expression neutral.png

........

Kengo expression surprised.png

What's up, Shirou? You've been quiet for a while now.

Kengo expression anger.png

"Screaming at the warm weather will not cool you down!"

Kengo expression joy.png

Saying stuff like that, a mystery is bound to happen. It always does.

Shirou expression shocked.png

Who's being histerical here?!
I can't believe I have to explain this to you!

Shirou expression anger.png

When you turn the faucet, hot water comes out!
In addition, air conditioning is indispensable at night!

Shirou expression neutral.png

Your usual habits involve setting a timer and laying on bed
till you wake up drenched in sweat at dawn.

Shirou expression sad.png

As you'd expect,
an air conditioner is the equivalent of a life-support system.


2 options
I feel like going to bed in ice. You scolded us enough!
Ryouta expression sad.png

Really now...... Please don't ask Chernobog-san to do that.

Kengo expression embarrassed.png

Quit it. You're gonna trap yourself in ice.

Kengo expression surprised.png

He's such an old-fashioned oni professor!
I wonder if I can keep up with him......


Ryouta expression happy.png

Well, if we're gonna be outside like this,
we should have something nice and cold!

Ryouta expression joy.png

Hehe, ta-dah~!!
I have bags of ice cream from the freezer...... Huh?

Ryouta expression shocked.png

Gyaaaaah!! It's a bit warm!
The ice cream I brought for everyone melted!!

Kengo expression surprised.png

Gah, you dumbass! Don't make a mess like that!
You're splashing the fruit juice everywhere!!

Ryouta expression sad.png

Eeeeh, I really screwed up......
I wonder if this air-conditioned bag was a bad idea.

Moritaka expression sad.png

Ryouta-dono, please try not to overdo things.
Because of the temperature outside, there is a limit on how long the bag can stay cold.

Moritaka expression sad.png

Even the water I bought earlier became hot water from a bathtub.

Hanuman expression joy.png

Ahahaha! Oh, it sure is hot!
This heat wave sure is breaking the record today!

Hanuman expression neutral.png

The highest temperature will increase to 40 degrees!
I myself must be getting a bit excited!

Ryouta expression shocked.png

H-Hiieeee! You're insane! How can you be so calm, Hanuman......

Hanuman expression joy.png

I am an outdoor creature, a monkey child, a child of the sun!
I'm totally indifferent to this!

Hanuman expression shock.png

If it's something about the heat,
then having fun splashing around in the water is something you should do more!

Ryouta expression sad.png

T-That sounds awesome......
I can't help but sweat every time I take a step......

Kengo expression embarrassed.png

That "recording motion" thing,
you're saying there's something like that every day?

Kengo expression joy.png

So, it won't go over a 100 degrees this winter, right? Nice!!


3 options (Same Response)
Hahaha, good for you, Kengo. The heat is screwing your brain up...... (Make a gentle look)


Kengo expression surprised.png

What kind of reaction was that?!
I was trying to brighten up the situation here......

Shirou expression sad.png

That wordplay was a bad.
Conversely, I would be embarrassed if I lost my mind like that.

Moritaka expression sad.png

This heat is truly dreadful......
I'm afraid my fur is going to become frizzily.

Moritaka expression sad.png

Either way, we should go to a cool room and rest......

Ryouta expression sad.png

Are you doing alright, Inuduka? You don't look so hot.
Agyou is currently house-sitting at our safe house......

Moritaka expression surprised.png

N-No! This is nothing! A samurai must persevere......!

Moritaka expression anger.png

Also, [Player]-dono invited me here!
I won't let myself go and turn down their offer!

Toji expression sad.png

Don't get ahead of yourself. Just bear with the heat, Inuduka.

Toji expression neutral.png

The heat is fairly extreme, even so when compared to the past.
Should we refrain from being outside during the daytime?

Toji expression neutral.png

Anyhow, back to where we're headed......
We're heading into the center of the area where the Roppongi Guild controls.

Toji expression sad.png

I believe they said planned a resort facility in the reconstructed casino?
Though, we would need some tolerance if we needed to be under this extreme heat.


3 options
Hakumen-chan invited us after all. Curious about the resort? I think I'll mess around with Toji instead.
Toji expression sad.png

Hakumen...... Say, isn't she one of the "transients" that control Roppongi?
To be honest, I hate noisy insects.

Toji expression neutral.png

Whether or not you are on good terms with her,
I will not intend to lower my guard.

Toji expression sad.png

Resorts....... Having fun in the water.
I assumed that it's irrelevant to a guardian.

Toji expression neutral.png

On the topic of water-related events,
I've ever only done cold-water ablutions under waterfalls.

Toji expression embarrassed.png

Nng?! (Ahem). Why would you say that, [Player].

Toji expression neutral.png

I stand by the notion of protecting yourself.
You are not to play around with others.

Toji expression neutral.png

Always prepare for combat at all times, stand firm even at near-death.
I am prepared to die under your "blade."


Kengo expression embarrassed.png

Gah, you are hard to deal with.
Since it's so damn hot, why not go for a swim?

Toji expression neutral.png

Of course.
If an escort can't be wearing a sword, what else am I supposed to be?

Ryouta expression thinking.png

But, can't you bring anything else instead of a swimsuit?
If it's for swimming, how about a loincloth?

Toji expression surprised.png

T-That is not something you should be wearing while you're swimming!
Besides, this conversation is not about owning a swimsuit!

Toji expression anger.png

I must be prepared at all times!
Despite entering enemy territory, I must act as a safeguard-

Kengo expression surprised.png

Gaaaaaaah!! Goddamn, you're just like Shirou!

Shirou expression happy.png

In what way are we alike?
Kengo, would you be so kind to explain?

Kengo expression surprised.png

Graaaah!! Quit it, you jerk!

Ryouta expression anger.png

Please keep a cool head, Chairman! Please don't fight!
Please no fighting...... Okay......?

Hanuman expression joy.png

It's a "baton" for short! Ooooh, I wonder who's the strongest!

Ryouta expression joy.png

Ooh, there should be some awesome SFX like in the kid's shows!
We should sell some toys or something!

Shirou expression shocked.png

Don't make up these weird stuff whenever you want!
Ugh, really, you all had to in this heat......

Ryouta expression happy.png

But but, isn't it rare for Toji to say he's inviting us to opening of the resort?

Ryouta expression neutral.png

Plus, if Hakumen-chan was the one that built it,
I'm sure it will be spectacular!

Ryouta expression thinking.png

A swimming pool with flowing waves, and there may be a beach too-

Ryouta expression joy.png

The restaurant's menu will be awesome!
Heheh, I can't wait!

Kengo expression embarrassed.png

Hakumen can do a lot without much experience.
I wonder if there's gonna be trouble again.

Hanuman expression joy.png

Don't you worry about thing!
Tsathoggua-dono said so over the voice chat!

Hanuman expression shock.png

"Hakumen-chan was very adamant about this.
I think it'll actually work out this time!"

Kengo expression nervous.png

She's been preample about that "for a while."
I wouldn't say it's gonna be "okay."

Toji expression neutral.png

...... It's fine to be chatting while standing around,
but have you thought about a comrade in a crisis?

Ryouta expression thinking.png

Huh? "Comrade in a crisis"?


Toji pointed out the silence; there was the figure of Moritaka laying on the ground.

He embraced his sword with hollow eyes, with an appearance of a complete hairy dog beastman.


Moritaka expression cheerful.png

Polar bear, polar bear...... Some cold ice please-


3 options
Hey, M-Moritaka?! (No wonder he's been quiet) Okay, let's strip him down.
Ryouta expression shocked.png

Aaaaaaaah!! I-I'm sorry, Inuduka!
He literally isn't doing okay!

Kengo expression anger.png

Yo, Inuduka! Get up! Stay with me here!

Kengo expression surprised.png

Come on, let's get you to drink some water......
Huh, huuuuuh?! Wait, this is hot water!!

Ryouta expression shocked.png

P-Please don't die on us!! Stay with us, Inuduka!!

Kengo expression surprised.png

Don't lay down on the ground!
You're gonna become a well-done steak!

Ryouta expression anger.png

G-Good idea! I'll take them off while [Player]-

Moritaka expression sad.png

You both shouldn't worry so much......
I can...... take off these clothes myself......

Shirou expression shocked.png

W-Wait a minute, Inuduka!! This is a public area!!


Moritaka expression cheerful.png

Haaah~ I am just a dog on the hot pavement~......
I feel like I'm barely alive here~......

Toji expression surprised.png

He's having a heatstroke......
I believe it's not normal to leave him like this.

Shirou expression shocked.png

This is not the time to be standing around and watch so calmly!
We need to provide him help right now!

Hanuman expression shock.png

Yep, this is definitely a huge problem!
This is where my two new items, super strong water guns come into play-

Hanuman expression cry.png

Aaaah!! I forgot to get the water!

Kengo expression surprised.png

Even if you remembered to put it in,
it's gonna be hot water anyways!

Shirou expression anger.png

This is no time to be goofing around!
We need to move to a cool spot!


2 options (Same Response)
No objections here! Where is a good spot......


Toji expression sad.png

I'll have to carry Inuduka on my back then.
There should be treatment facilities around here......

Ryouta expression thinking.png

Well, since we already came this far, why can't we take him over there?


To where Ryouta was pointing at, it appears to be the entrance to spectacular resort in which Hakumen runs.


Toji expression anger.png

...... You can't solve problems without making sacrifices.
I will rush inside at once!

Kengo expression anger.png

Sheesh, what kind of summer is this, putting someone's life at risk here!


For the start of the summer, Tokyo was getting hotter day by day.

There are still plenty of days left for the people. People are enjoying their lives along with having fun at the festival.

On the other hand, one day, the sun scorched the world.

It wouldn't fall under 30 degrees during the daytime, but at night, the atmosphere feels like that of a tropical jungle.

As Kengo said, the heat at Tokyo is no laughing matter.

Chapter 1 Part 1:
[Translated by Kukuru]

Chapter 1: Formation, The Volume of Priest Xuanzang's Party

Location: Resort Pool



Hakumen expression desert joy.png

Ohohohohoho!!


It's hard to believe that this is indoors. An apparent blue sky, moderate sunlight and the white sandy beach-

With how large the ceiling space is, loud echoes of laughter can be hard all around.


Hakumen expression desert embarrassed.png

It's merry, and absolutely beautiful, milord!
Welcome, to my gorgeous, special resort!


3 options
I'm here, my sweet Hakumen-chan. What are you scheming this time? That is a lovely swimsuit~
Hakumen expression desert embarrassed.png

Hmhmhm, oh you! Milord. You with all this riffraff......

Hakumen expression desert joy.png

There's a burning passion no matter the time or place.
But, I don't hate that no?

Ryouta expression beach b thinking.png

...... Huh? What do you mean by "riffraff"?

Hanuman expression desert surprised.png

It might be a name of someone who resembles you.
I think it's better to call us that.

Shirou expression swimsuit sad.png

....... No, that's not it.

Hakumen expression desert surprised.png

Nothing, Milord. Why do you assume I'm up to no good?

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

Otherwise, I would've brought that watchdog, Xolotl with me.
So, please don't misunderstand me.

Hakumen expression desert embarrassed.png

I only wanted you to have fun, Milord.
Hence, I've invited you here to this resort as the first guests, no?

Hakumen expression desert joy.png

Oh my, you really think so?
I made this for today's special occasion!

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

I have hundreds of thousands of swimsuits.
Indeed, I have a lot of lovely things in my possession......

Hakumen expression desert embarrassed.png

Because Milord came here to see me, I had to put this bathing suit on!

Ryouta expression beach b shocked.png

T-That sure is a rich person's way of thinking.
Although, I always have my swimsuit with me.

Shirou expression swimsuit neutral.png

When I hear talk like this,
I can really feel how different the worlds we live in are.


Hakumen expression desert surprised.png

Ah, that's right.
Don't worry about your friend you brought in earlier.

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

Xolotl just now informed me that he is resting in the infirmary.

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

As soon as he can confirm he's recovered,
I've instructed to bring him here. You needn't worry a thing.

Ryouta expression beach b joy.png

What a relief...... Thanks, Hakumen-chan!

Hakumen expression desert embarrassed.png

Hmhmhm, don't mention it.
I simply want milord to enjoy themselves to their heart's content.

Toji expression sad.png

...... I see, so this is a resort.
It truly is a luxurious place, with a lot of money put into it.

Hakumen expression desert surprised.png

Hoh? The beach was worth the trouble.
If you thought an inexperienced person could-

TL Note: The next few bits involve Hakumen's made up nickname, "Musamurai." It was difficult to translate literally, so I reworked the sentences but kept the context as much as possible.

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

Well... If it isn't Mr. Samurubbish.
Why on earth have you come here?*

Toji expression surprised.png

Rubbish......?! What!?*

Kengo expression embarrassed.png

(Samurubbish...... Why did she use that nickname?)*

Shirou expression swimsuit sad.png

(I suppose she just mashed "Rubbish" and "Samurai"
together just to make a derogatory nickname for Toji)*

Toji expression neutral.png

....... I'll get straight to the point.
What are you trying to gain here?

Toji expression anger.png

If you're plotting something against [Player]......
Then I'll make you spill out on what you're really doing.

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

Hoh, aren't you scary? But, that's too bad.
I'm not even scheming anything this time. Absolutely nothing!

Hakumen expression desert embarrassed.png

I have my affection only for Milord.
If I were to stretch it that far, would you consider love to be loyalty?

Toji expression neutral.png

Hmmm...... Who would've thought. You're always like this-

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

Well, if you're still suspecting me, then I don't care.
So, take a seat over there and watch everyone have their fun.

Toji expression anger.png

........!!

Hakumen expression desert anger.png

.......!!

Ryouta expression beach b sad.png

Gosh, things are getting really heated over there......
Even though we went through the trouble of coming here to play.

Shirou expression swimsuit sad.png

Well, it's not like I don't understand why Sakimori suspects her......


2 options (Same Response)
L-Let's get along here! Well, maybe it's impossible......


Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

Well, setting aside the snappish watchdog-
Milord, please take a good look!

Hakumen expression desert joy.png

A paradise built and overflowing with beauty and wealth,
by no other than Hakumen-chan!


By Hakumen's signal, splashes of water gleamed over from the artificially-made beach.

On the other hand, the facility is currently building the pool and waterfall attractions.

The outside became red hot, and a cool breeze blew. The inside of the facility has become moderately comfortable.


Ryouta expression beach b surprised.png

Wow, that's so cool......!
It's just like those Southern islands I see on TV!

Hakumen expression desert joy.png

Well, well. Isn't this a bit different from those "Southern islands"?

Hakumen expression desert joy.png

The TSL concept is exquisite! The "Desert Oasis"!

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

Under the dry wind and blazing hot sun,
Tokyo is right in the center of a dry desert!

Hakumen expression desert joy.png

A perfect paradise that appears like a mirage on Earth.
That, is the TSL.

Ryouta expression beach b surprised.png

...... Huh? What does "TSL" stand for?

Shirou expression swimsuit neutral.png

Let's see...... The "S" stands for "Summer" right?

Kengo expression beach embarrassed.png

"A paradise on Earth."
Compared to the hell outside, this place actually does feel like paradise.

Hanuman expression desert joy.png

The pool is so refreshing! It sure does feel like a "resort" alright!

Hanuman expression desert surprised.png

Hah! Before I forget, I need to charge my weapons with water!

Hanuman expression desert joy.png

Okay, I'll go draw some water for myself!

Kengo expression beach surprised.png

H-Hey! Don't run around like you own the place!

Hanuman expression desert joy.png

Shatatatatata! It feels amazing though.

Hanuman expression desert neutral.png

The great white clouds. An oasis that goes on forever.
Everyone playing at the beach. A pig buried in the beach......

Hanuman expression desert serious.png

...... Huh? ......

Hanuman expression desert joy.png

Heh, I saw something incredibly strange just now. Oh well!

Shirou expression swimsuit neutral.png

That's strange though......
There's dry weather here in Tokyo, there should be a drought going on.

Toji expression anger.png

You...... Where the hell did you get this much water from......!!

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

"Did you pump the water from Tokyo in the pool?"
Is that what you want to accuse me of?

Hakumen expression desert joy.png

Ohohohohoho!! It's actually creative power and wealth!

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

Hakumen-chan is sponsored by the TSL.
I used the water sparingly however.

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

The water here is irrelevant to whatever water source Tokyo uses.

Shirou expression swimsuit surprised.png

"Irrelevant to Tokyo's water source"?
Are you pulling this from another source......?

Hakumen expression desert sad.png

Correct. Regarding technical matters,
I'm not sure how it works.

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

A genius and an eccentric brainiac,
you'd think they would dig their own waterway, right?

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

First of all, Tokyo's utilities felt empty.
Conversely, it was an offering from a provider.


3 options (Same Response)
How did you talk them about it? Are you learning under a talented person? Ah, I see.


Hakumen expression desert surprised.png

Oh my, there's no need for a change in tone.
When I spoke with "that young man," I felt reassured......


1 option
"Young man"?


Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

Correct. He handles all the construction including this facility.
He's the partner that put together this sponsorship.

???:( face)
Hahaha, what a client!
Was the negotiation tough for ya?

Hakumen expression desert surprised.png

Ah, Gyuu-chan, right on time.
I was just talking about you.

???:( face)
Hohoh? My story huh. That's-

Gyumao is called "Huge Bovine Company President?" until Hakumen introduces him.

Gyumao expression joy.png

Powerful and energetic CEO of an alliance, that's my story!


A large man suddenly appears right next to Hakumen.

A formidable warrior with a huge smile on his face, something like that leaves a strong impression on you.


Ryouta expression beach b shocked.png

Whoa, so huge! That stunning physique too!

Kengo expression beach shocked.png

Dang, I wasn't expecting that tone of voice from this guy......

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

Let me introduce to you my new business partner.
Gyumao-chan, or Gyuu-chan for short.

Gyumao expression neutral.png

Nice to meet you, all of my guests. I am Gyumao...... You...... You are all students?

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

Gyuu-chan, this is [Player]-sama, Guild Master of the "Summoners."

Hakumen expression desert embarrassed.png

They are also my super special Master.
Don't get carried away with them, okay?

Gyumao expression surprised.png

Oh, I must apologize then! This is who I am.
I am pleased to make your acquaintance.


After correcting his remarks, Gyumao handed them a folded business card.

The full name and executive position can be seen on the card; He was that of a perfect business man.


3 options
You want me to keep this? Sorry, but I don't want a business card. You got some great muscles.
Gyumao expression neutral.png

Of course. Exchanging business cards is a standard of business.

Gyumao expression joy.png

You should learn from that.
Some say business etiquette is knowledge!

Gyumao expression neutral.png

Hoh, although you're still young, you're still clever.
There's still much for you to see.

Gyumao expression neutral.png

That's why I introduced an internship program for my company.

Gyumao expression joy.png

A motivated person is always welcome.
When you're looking for a job, please consider choosing my company!

Gyumao expression joy.png

Hahahahaha! Ohohoh, aren't you a perceptive one!

Gyumao expression neutral.png

What you need as a business person is: Brains, Wits and Muscles!
That, is what I believe in.

Gyumao expression joy.png

To maintain muscle, I go to the gym every day after 5.
So, do you want to touch them? Hm?

Hakumen expression desert anger.png

Hey, Gyuu-chan! Don't you dare make a move on my Master!

Gyumao expression frown.png

Whoops, that was rude of me!
I became ecstatic when they complimented about my muscles.


Gyumao expression neutral.png

That's right, I am the one who chose Ms. Hakumen as my business partner.

Gyumao expression neutral.png

Overflowing with charm and wonders,
she seemed to be a promising customer.

Hakumen expression desert joy.png

Aah~! Oh stop, Gyuu-chan~. You shouldn't spoil things like that.

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

If a businessman is being too straightforward,
won't your business suddenly drop?

Gyumao expression neutral.png

Don't worry, it won't be a problem!
Our company is decisive, faithful, efficient, and close acquaintances! That's our motto!

Gyumao expression joy.png

For any sort of needs, commitment always bring the best results!

Hakumen and Gyumao:(joy face)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Shirou, Ryouta and Kengo:(beach_shocked face)
............

Toji expression surprised.png

...... [Player]. All these people you brought together......


3 options
Everyone here are good people, right? Cut the chatter. This is an every day thing for me.
Toji expression sad.png

........ So, this is what you would call "that kind of friend."

Shirou expression swimsuit sad.png

...... Sakimori. If you categorize them like that,
won't you fall under that "kind" too?

Toji expression surprised.png

Hah!! I-I was mistaken!

Toji expression sad.png

Hm. I see. So, those remarks are like a samurai's compassion.

Toji expression surprised.png

That saying is outdated as of now? S-Sorry about that......

Toji expression surprised.png

You...... Are you really okay with that?
A saying was "enter the countryside, abide to the countryside."

Toji expression sad.png

Is there really nothing you cannot adapt to......?


???:( face)
Oi! Of all places, you decided to sell oil here!

Amatsumara is referred to as "Artisan in a Jersey?" until he's introduced by Gyumao.

Amatsumara expression neutral.png

Oi, Chief! There's something I need to discuss with ya!

Gyumao expression neutral.png

Ah, the head of the construction team.
So then, what seems to be the problem?

Gyumao expression joy.png

Ah, allow me to introduce him. This is Amatsumara.

Gyumao expression neutral.png

He is a gray engineer. He also built all the attractions of the TSL.

Amatsumara expression smile.png

Hey now, don't say things about me like that.
That way of talking will make me feel awkward.

Amatsumara expression neutral.png

So, who are the lot you brought in here?
Are they your guests?

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

Indeed they are. They're the special guests I've invited for the pre-opening today.

Amatsumara expression surprised.png

...... Owner-san. I didn't think you'd bring a crowd for the "pre-opening."

Hakumen expression desert surprised.png

Hoh, I thought he told you in advance?
That's why I wanted to give you my regards?

Amatsumara expression troubled.png

What do you mean by "That's why"......
Well, I can manage.

Amatsumara expression neutral.png

Please excuse us, guests. What you see here is still in development.


3 options
I'm [Player]. Nice to meet ya. You seem old-fashioned. Check out that amazing physique!
Amatsumara expression smile.png

Ah, I am Amatsumara, the core carpenter of the business.
Well, I am also the old man in charge of the construction work here.

Amatsumara expression surprised.png

Hey, I'm the core carpenter of the business alright?
I also taught engineering skills at the technical college of Kamata.

Amatsumara expression neutral.png

This time it's a technical cooperation with the company.
That is why I came here.

Amatsumara expression blush.png

Gwahaha, I see! Technique dwells within trained muscles you see!

Amatsumara expression troubled.png

...... Well, there hasn't been enough willpower lately.
Neither technology nor muscles benefit the youngsters.


Amatsumara expression surprised.png

Oops, looks like I got a bit carried away.
I didn't come here for chit-chat.

Amatsumara expression neutral.png

Chief Gyumao-san. There seems to be something wrong with the water pipe for the mermaid pool.

Amatsumara expression neutral.png

Will 2 hours be alright to remove the blockage?

Gyumao expression frown.png

Oh, that indeed is an urgent problem.
Alright, deal with the problem immediately-

Hakumen expression desert sad.png

Eeeh~? That's so disappointing.
Milord finally came here, but only to find out there's a blockage......

Amatsumara expression neutral.png

Are you concerned about maintenance affecting a customer's satisfaction?
It would be important for "Milord" too, of course.

Amatsumara expression anger.png

Ah, if you want your "Master" to get hurt, would that be a different story?

Hakumen expression desert anger.png

....... You. Are you trying to provoke me?

Gyumao expression anger.png

Stop! Client-dono, he is one of my subordinates.
If you have a complaint, consult that matter to me.

Gyumao expression troubled.png

That kind of tone is common among professional engineers.

Gyumao expression neutral.png

Besides, he was talking about risk management.
He needs to do everything to ensure the guests' safety.

Gyumao expression neutral.png

Now, will you please understand the situation, Owner?

Hakumen expression desert sad.png

...... I understand.
If it's maintenance, then I'll leave you to it.

Amatsumara expression smile.png

I'm glad you understand, Miss.
I will get the job done, just leave it to me.

Amatsumara expression neutral.png

Well, I'll be going then, Chief.
I hope you don't mind giving a hand.

Gyumao expression neutral.png

Agreed, Head of Construction.
Let us commit to the site.

Gyumao expression joy.png

Gentlemen, I will excuse myself.
I will see you again at the opening ceremony!

You're all amazing people. Opening ceremony?
Shirou expression swimsuit surprised.png

Ah. He sure has a lot of energy.

Shirou expression swimsuit neutral.png

Well, he does have that kind of talent.
After all, she did call him a young executive earlier.

Kengo expression beach embarrassed.png

He's not even young for his age.
He's more like a middle-aged executive.


Hakumen expression desert sad.png

Please forgive me, Milord. I am terribly sorry.
One area is inaccessible, but please have fun regardless.

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

I will still show off the pre-opening of the TSL today.
Only the staff, invitees, and those who have complimentary tickets are allowed to enter.

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

In other words, you're only in this room as a celebrity's guests
because I've invited Milord here.

Hakumen expression desert embarrassed.png

You won't be bothered by a noisy lizard and someone's child running around,
so just kick back and relax.


3 options
What about Ophion and Lucifuge? Where's Licht and Melusine? Where's Tsathoggua?
Hakumen expression desert surprised.png

Hmm? Ah, that lizard and Lucifuge.
Yeah, about those two-

Ophion expression young sad.png

...... Hmph, that was quite the plan you had, Miss Hakumen.

Ophion expression young neutral.png

This is troublesome however.
She invited the masses and my darling wife to the facility.

Ophion expression young neutral.png

If you think no little of my wife,
then you should welcome them to a more private spot.

Ophion expression young sad.png

Do you not agree with me? My fellow Lucifuge.

Lucifuge expression troubled.png

Yeah, definitely. If it wasn't so obvious that she craves attention,
she had to drag in her special friend.

Lucifuge expression joy.png

It's the era of smart and compact business models-
Basically, it's a trend to make a share with a few people.

Ophion expression young sad.png

........ Feh......

Aizen expression sad.png

Ah, Lucifuge-sama...... This is absurd.
I'm not even aware of what Ophion-sama is scheming.....

Ophion expression young anger.png

Aizen! If you've returned,
then give me an update on the situation!

Aizen expression surprised.png

Yes! Right away, Ophion-sama! The request for the construction company
cooperating with several real estates of Tokyo was completed just now!

Aizen expression neutral.png

In 1 hour, we'll summon the sales representatives from each company.
Then, we'll hold a competition there!

Ophion expression young joy.png

Hmhm. Good work, Aizen.
Also, I'll humbly take my leave of you, Hakumen.

Ophion expression young tasty.png

At any rate, I would spend on something suitable for my darling wife,
I will build a first-class villa; a first-class summer resort.

Lucifuge expression surprised.png

V-Villa......?! Ophion-dono!
Wasn't the guest house for shared use only?!

Hakumen expression desert sad.png

...... And that's what happened.
It's hard to believe that there are no good summer resorts here in Tokyo.

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

Eh? Ah, you mean Guild Master-chan? Not too long ago, he-

Licht expression excited.png

Ah, Hakumen-dono.
The resort was under construction, and today is the pre-opening of it.

Licht expression sad.png

I wanted to celebrate, but unfortunately something else came up shortly after.

Licht expression neutral.png

[Player] my friend, won't you tell me you're doing fine?

Melusine expression neutral.png

Licht-sama. Assistance for your friend's "battlefield"-
A sortie has been arranged.

Melusine expression neutral.png

Chilled drinks, hand towels, and a change of clothes.
We are currently preparing as much as we can.

Licht expression excited.png

Mhm, much appreciated, Melusine!
Then, it's time to head out to Ariake!

Licht:(surprised face)
"Today is going to be a long day." Please keep that in mind!

Melusine expression thinking.png

Of course, if that is what you wish, Licht-sama.

Hakumen expression desert surprised.png

... Apparently, he has gone to a gruelsome battlefield.
Because of his determination and readiness... I have a slightly better opinion of him now.

Hakumen expression desert surprised.png

Eh? Ah. Tsathoggua-dono is-

Tsathoggua expression shock.png

...... Huh? Ah, sorry about that, Hakumen-chan.

Tsathoggua expression sad.png

I was staying up all night doing these quests,
but I must've fell asleep in the middle of doing thaaaaat.

Tsathoggua expression neutral.png

You're holding a pre-opening for the pool you're building,
but there's no chance of me going to iiiiiit.

Tsathoggua expression sad.png

First of all, I can't go outside because it's hot as hell out there.
For that reason, I'm not gonna boooother.

Tsathoggua expression joy.png

Please give [Player] my regaaaards...... Welp, good niiiiight~.

Hakumen expression desert anger.png

... There you have it. My god, that good-for-nothing......

Hakumen expression desert sad.png

Also, there's a really sweaty smell in the corner of the room because of all of the clothes stacked up there.
I hope he's tossed all of them in the laundry by now.


Hakumen expression desert embarrassed.png

My my, Milord. Today, you must only pay attention to me.

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

Now, shall we get going soon? I will be arranging a bartender.

Hakumen expression desert embarrassed.png

A peaceful beach with white-crested waves on the shores,
under the parasol, an amorous adventure......

Shirou expression swimsuit surprised.png

B-Bartender......?! Wait a minute, we're still-

Hakumen expression desert joy.png

Ah, don't you worry about that.
I'll be calling a friend that I know is somewhere about.

Hakumen expression desert sad.png

Oh my. I think I might have talked for a little too long.

Thunderbird is referred to as "Dandy Avian?" here.

Thunderbird expression desert wink.png

Ah, welcome back, Mademoiselle.
Are you today's guests?

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

Indeed they are. A welcome drink is what I'm thinking right now.

Thunderbird expression desert wink.png

OK, I'll prepare them right away.
Just kick back and relax.

Thunderbird expression desert stern.png

Hrm? You are......


The Avian Bartender stared at [Player] like a bird of prey.


3 options (Same Response)
U-Umm...... What's up? Cool......


Thunderbird expression desert surprised.png

Ah, that was rude of me. No no, it's just a bad habit of mine.

Thunderbird expression desert blush.png

For an attractive babe like you, I'll be happy to shake the shaker for you.

Kengo expression beach shocked.png

B-Babe......?! Man, you have a weird way of talking to people.

Thunderbird expression desert neutral.png

One thing about me - Where ever I am, always remember that a lowly bartender will be around the corner.

Thunderbird expression desert neutral.png

If you're pleased with today's drink...... Ah yes.
Even when you become an adult, always remember-

Thunderbird expression desert wink.png

That my store is in Shinjuku. I'd be delighted if you stopped by.


The Bartender then gave a smug wink, and returned to the counter.


Shirou expression swimsuit surprised.png

....... Just like he came straight out of a Western film,
he sure talks a lot like a quirky protagonist.

Ryouta expression beach b serious.png

S-So cool......! His shop is in Shinjuku right?!

Kengo expression beach shocked.png

I don't get why Ryouta thinks he's so "cool"......

Toji expression neutral.png

.............

Hanuman expression desert joy.png

Heeeey! [Player]-dono!

Hanuman expression desert surprised.png

My water guns are full of charge!
Wait, we're not gonna play yet?


2 options
I'll treat you a drink. You barely just got back though......
Hanuman expression desert joy.png

Oooh, you mean it?! I was getting pretty thirsty!

Hanuman expression desert neutral.png

After I charge my body with juice, I'll play as much as I want!
Time to get some banana juice!


[Player] and the others received drinks from the Bartender and relaxed for a while.

Then, Hakumen clapped with her hands and spoke out to them.


Hakumen expression desert joy.png

Ah, that's no good!
For Milord's sake, I've prepared for you this gorgeous bathing suit.

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

This bathing suit was made by Roppongi's haute couture.
It is a one-of-a-kind item!

Hakumen expression desert embarrassed.png

Out of the 3000 pairs made, I certainly would call this a favorite......
If I could find it......

Hakumen expression desert surprised.png

That key, that's odd. Where could it be......

Hakumen expression desert neutral.png

...... Hey, Xolotl! Get over here right now!

Xolotl:(desert_anger face)
Hakumen-samaaaaaa!! Is something wrong?!

Hakumen expression desert anger.png

You're loud! I can hear you just fine without all the screaming!

Xolotl:(desert_surprised face)
Y-Yes!! Please forgive me!!

Xolotl:(desert_happy face)
Oh, you brought [Player]-sama and all their friends!
I'm sorry for not being in touch with you!


3 options
Hey there, Xolotl. You're not in a suit......?! Now that you've taken your clothes off, you look awesome.

Xolotl:(desert_happy face)
Yes, hello! Thank you so much for coming today-

Hakumen expression desert anger.png

Xolotl, save the greetings for later!
I called you here for a reason!

Xolotl:(desert_surprised face)
O-Of course! What seems to be the problem, Hakumen-sama!

Xolotl:(desert_happy face)
Yes! For Hakumen-sama's presentation today, I've come here with this appearance-

Hakumen expression desert anger.png

Xolotl! Never mind about your swimsuit!
Also, I called you here for a reason!

Xolotl:(desert_surprised face)
O-Of course! What seems to be the problem, Hakumen-sama!

Xolotl:(desert_neutral face)
A-Awesome......?! O-Oh, you meant my body......

Xolotl:(desert_embarrassed face)
Waaaahieee!! W-Why did you touch my stomach for?!

Hakumen expression desert anger.png

Xolotl! I did not call you here just to get your body touched by Milord!

Xolotl:(desert_surprised face)
Ah, of course! My apologies, Hakumen-sama!


Hakumen expression desert sad.png

I was sure I had the wardrobe key......
Did you do something? Do you know anything about it?

Xolotl:(desert_neutral face)
Eh? Ooh, you mean that gold wardrobe key?
I'm sure it was sitting on the desk in Hakumen-sama's bedroom-

Hakumen expression desert surprised.png

Wait just a moment. On the desk in my bedroom? How could that be?!

Hakumen expression desert surprised.png

I told you I won't be returning to the bedroom after I picked out an outfit!

Xolotl:(desert_surprised face)
Huh...! Dammit! I completely forgot about that!!

Hakumen expression desert anger.png

Grrrrrrr!! You imbecile! You're a big imbecile!!

Hakumen expression desert embarrassed.png

P-Please excuse me, Milord. Hakumen-chan just needs a little time to herself.

Hakumen expression desert joy.png

Until I get back, please enjoy this gorgeous resort with your friends.

Hakumen expression desert embarrassed.png

Well then, I shall be going now! Ohohohohohoho!!

Hakumen expression desert anger.png

...... Xolotl. You better remember next time!

Xolotl:(desert_surprised face)
H...... Hieeeeeeeeeeee!!

Toji expression surprised.png

Hakumen of the Tycoons, should I fear the empress of Roppongi......?

Toji expression surprised.png

My impression of her personality did not turn out the way I expected......

Kengo expression beach embarrassed.png

Is that so? That's a normal thing for us though.

Hanuman expression desert neutral.png

Yeah! Hakumen-chan-dono seems to be a nice, yet rash person!


3 options
Kengo, just stop. That's not helping, Hanuman. You seem pretty bitter, Toji.

Kengo:(beach_joy face)
It's a nice thing, that's a fact. Let's go swimming already!

Kengo:(beach_neutral face)
There's an information plate placed on the swimming pool there.
I'll go ahead and play a game at the pool!

Hanuman expression desert joy.png

Ah, it's a second-hand opinion from Tsathoggua-dono.
She's thoughtlessly adorable, or so he says.

Hanuman expression desert neutral.png

Look look! Since she's letting us have fun, I'm gonna show you what these bad boys can do!

Hanuman expression desert joy.png

If I compress this, it can send you flying 1 km ahead at the latest!

Toji expression surprised.png

Good and Evil don't come into consideration here.
Just like a person on a cloud I suppose.

Toji expression sad.png

Rather, I'm astonished that your courage and coping with your existence like that.

Kengo expression beach embarrassed.png

Are you being sarcastic? Or is that how you truly feel......?


Kengo:(beach_joy face)
It's a nice thing, that's a fact. Let's go swimming already!

Kengo:(beach_neutral face)
There's an information plate placed on the swimming pool there.
I'll go ahead and play a game at the pool!

Shirou expression swimsuit neutral.png

Well, I'll be going to the refreshment area then.

Shirou:(swimsuit_happy face)
We can enjoy a rock sauna and a massage.
In turn, this will help [Player] relax.

Ryouta:(beach_b_happy face)
The refreshment area is the one with all the restaurants right?

Ryouta:(beach_b_neutral face)
I heard from Choji that the restaurants at Azabu-Juban
have top chefs that will treat you with some delicacies!

Ryouta expression beach b joy.png

What do you want to eat, [Player]?
If it's delicious, I'll bring some for Inuduka too!

Kengo:(beach_neutral face)
Sheesh, you guys make it sound like you're too old for this.
This is a water resort and there's a swimming pool, so what's holding you back?

Kengo:(beach_joy face)
"Raging downstream pool" and "Large Ocean Whirpool,"
which one do you think sounds good, Buddy?

Hanuman expression desert serious.png

I'm gonna challenge everyone to a water gun fight!
I'll lend out some water guns in the dedicated field!

Hanuman expression desert joy.png

Let's split up into 2 teams and have a serious match!


Making a huge fuss, the circle of friends asserted on what they want to do.


Toji expression sad.png

............


On the other hand, Toji became slightly distant from the group, quietly observing the situation.


2 options (Same Response)
Don't you want to hang out, Toji? Come on, let's play together.


Toji expression surprised.png

No, I...... It's nothing.

Kengo:(beach_neutral face)
Hohoh? Come on, cut it out with the sarcasm.

Kengo:(beach_joy face)
Okay, Hanuman! Give me a hand and get him to come with us!

Hanuman expression desert joy.png

I got you! Heheh, let's get going~!!

Toji expression surprised.png

H-Hey, you guys...... Gah, stop, I-I'm ticklish!

Toji expression embarrassed.png

Why are you even touching there! Hah...... Wahaaaaaa!

Shirou expression swimsuit surprised.png

W-Wait! Sakimori isn't even wearing a swimsuit!!

Ryouta expression beach b joy.png

Now now. Even if he comes back soaking wet,
don't you want to make a page of summer memories?

Shirou:(swimsuit_anger face)
Sheesh...... Hey wait, Kengo!
You need to do warm-up exercises before jumping in the water-

Ryouta expression beach b shocked.png

Waaaah, he left already......!
[Player], I'm gonna go on ahead!

Ryouta expression beach b joy.png

Heeeeeey!! Don't leave me behind!!


3 options (Same Response)
I'm not sure if that's a good thing. Toji seems to be getting used to this. Aaah, he's become a plaything.


Because [Player] was falling behind the others, they ran straight to the glistening beach.

...... Then, at that moment.


???:( face)
G-Gyaaaaaah!!

Seth is referred to as "Dog 'Transient'?" here.

Seth:(anger face)
Gah...... That was so reckless of you!
If you're running off somewhere, at least watch where you're going!


2 options (Same Response)
You're awfully upbeat...... Hey, are you okay?


Seth:(sad face)
...... Geez. You were invited by the Owner right?
Well, you did hurt me after all.

Seth:(anger face)
Because this is a man-made watering hole,
I don't want the happy innocents to see a painful accident!

Seth: You need to be more careful- H... Huh?


The boy cut off his sentence and stiffened his face.

What came to his eyes were distress and fear.


Seth:(surprised face)
Eh...... Eeeeeh!?


2 options (Same Response)
H-Huh?! Wait, what.....!?


Seth:(surprised face)
W-Why..... You dumbass! Why are "you" in a place like this......

Seth:(anger face)
W-What did you come here for......?!
Why did you show yourself here!


3 options (Same Response)
You're mistaken! I don't get what you're saying. H-Huh......?


Seth:(surprised face)
I'm sure there isn't a mistake...... Although, no. this is different!

Seth:(sad face)
You're not here anymore! Because, you've gone ahead of me......

Seth: Yeah, there's no reason behind it......
Because you've already......!

Seth:(anger face)
You're not of this world anymore!!


Both sorrow and hatred can be felt in the boy's screaming.

He was being filled with an intense "thirst," as derived by that.

Water moisture, cold winds, and the roar of the waves from the pool; everything seemed to be disappearing.


Seth:(surprised face)
Goddamn...... Damn, damn, dammit!!

Seth:(anger face)
Get out, get the hell out of here right now!
I...... Please, just get out of my sight!!

Seth:(anger face)
Disappear...... Without a trace!!


The boy looked completely upset and agitated, he turned to [Player] with a cane that seemed to be his "Sacred Artifact."


3 options (Same Response)
I don't get what's going on, but- Guess I don't have any other options. Don't get upset if you get hurt!


[Battle]



Seth:(sad face)
Kuh...... That pressure I felt from the sword......
Are you really......?


Showered with attacks, the beastman staggered and falls back.

There was no indication of anger on his face, but rather complete fear.


Seth:(sad face)
Why...... Why now? Even though...... I came all this way!


3 options (Same Response)
I really don't know what's going on, but- Just chill out and listen to what I have to say. Why did you attack me for?


Seth:(surprised face)
No, this is different!
I...... I didn't even want to do this kind of thing!

Seth:(sad face)
I...... I! P-Please forgive me...... Uuuu...

Seth:(sad face)
Waaaahaaaaaaaaa!!!


A stronger thirst than before arises with the beastman in its center.

Wind, heat, and an enormous amount of sand spirals and completely ate away the water content.


2 options (Same Response)
What the hell is......! C-Could this be......?!


Sand dominated their field of vision. Not before long, it became completely black.

Then, when [Player] opened their eyes-
